Data centers and infrastructure lawyers
Having grown and transformed remarkably over the past decade with the increasing volume of digital data and the emergence of cloud computing, the demand for data processing capacity is greater than ever. Today, data centers are largely purpose-built and can range from small-scale co-location centers to expansive hyperscale facilities that require substantial land and infrastructure.
Our team of lawyers has considerable practical experience in guiding businesses, helping them navigate the complex web of regulations governing data centers, including zoning laws, environmental regulations, intellectual property protection, data privacy requirements and energy efficiency standards. For instance, our team advised lenders on the first ever green loan and the first sustainability-linked loan that was used to finance data center developments in Japan.
With our global network of lawyers with deep sector experience, our clients have come to depend on us to develop strategies to minimize potential risks and liabilities, and to establish secure and compliant facilities that meet their operational needs and are fit for the future.
